Traditional boat crews from Melbourne to Maldon will

all over the UK and around the world competing to find the
UK Traditional Boat Champions. The entry includes gigs,
skiffs, cutters, naval whalers, Chinese dragon boats,
Hawaiian war canoes, shallops, skerries, wherries and many,
many more. Over 2,500 competitors will brave the Great River
Race course, from dedicated regular racers to fun rowers and
paddlers, ranging from barely-teenage Scouts to national
champions. Crews are entered by groups as diverse as rowing
clubs, councils, schools, livery companies, pubs, youth
clubs, police, fire brigades, the Armed Services, banks and
other companies. Many will be striving to win the main
prize, the Challenge Trophy of The Company of Watermen &
Lightermen of the River Thames, awarded to the first boat
over the line, to figure in one of the 33 other classes or
simply to finish and collect a much-prized participation
certificate. The race is run on a 'slowest away first,
fastest last' pursuit handicap basis, meaning the last boat
away will have to make up over an hour to win. Most will be
raising money for charity and many are sure to add to the
spectacle of the race by competing in fancy dress.
